Thanks for your help! It works now. :)
In case you're curious:
ldd sqwebmaild showed the following:
libgdbm.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgdbm.so.3 (0x4001e000)
libcourierauth.so.0 =>
/usr/local/lib/courier-authlib/libcourierauth.so.0 (0x40024000)
libpcre.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0 (0x40030000)
libcrypt.so.1 => /lib/libcrypt.so.1 (0x40047000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40074000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
for debian the directories seem to be determined by /etc/ld.so.conf but
it contained /usr/local/lib.
Also maybe related is the ldconfig command..?
Perplexed, I tried running it again, and it worked! Maybe it refreshed
something when I used ldd? Not sure, but I'm glad it works, so thanks
again.
One thing that's very weird though is that I had to try to start the
daemon manually before I got any errors. It kind of threw me for a
loop. But for my trouble I learned a bit about library loaders...
Anyhow, thanks again :)

OK. Now you know what the problem is.
But the library exists:
# locate libpcre.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1
I tried linking (ln) the file to the current directory but it still
complains... I think this is simply a path issue and one reason for the
rc script in the first place. In any case, I'm still stumped :(
It won't help anything to link it to the current directory. You need
to figure out how your loader locates the shared libraries. On
FreeBSD the paths are set with ldconfig_paths in /etc/rc.conf. I
don't know about your system, you better check the docs. On FreeBSD
you can see wich libraries are linked by typing "ldd sqwebmaild".
Is there an error log somewhere for sqwebmail?
sqwebmail can't log anything since it doesn't even start. That is the
loader complaining before launching the app.
Do you have any ideas on
how to procede?
Check your system docs or google for help. I better get some sleep
now. G'luck!
